How long does the plant tour last? I know one starts at 830 and another 1130. Does it last the three hours or is it shorter? Thanks

was there in July - tour lasted a solid hour and half. Double check your times because we got it around 2:30pm and finished just as a shift was letting out for the day.
Had a great time seeing 16's being built a few days before they started shipping.

We were there twice several years ago and some of the rules were no open toed shoes and no handbags. My wife had sandals so that prevented us from going. Get the rules before you go so there are no unexpected problems. It's a great tour and to me it was amazing just how easily the cars went together compared to what we guys go thru.

It is a one mile walking tour. Took us about one hour this past June. Tours are at 8:30/11:30/2:00.
